What should I do about my mom?

Question

She gets mad easily, and she yells alot. She makes a big deal out of everything, and she always thinks she's right. Today, I'm like "Mom, I'm gonna play Rock Band." And she's like "okay." So I started up the Wii and stuff, then she's like "You can't play Rock Band! You have to watch John Adams tonight!" And I'm like "I never said I wanted to see that!" And she's like "Yes you did! Now turn off that Wii before I throw it out the door!" She makes me want to cry sometimes. I also feel like yelling at her. What should I do?

Answer 1

sounds like your mom is having some hard times  sometimes it is hard for parents to deal with stress so you can help  ask her if there is anything you can do to help  be kind to her  maybe she will tell you what is bothering her  listen and act in a positive manner  i know your a young person but sometimes young people have to help shoulder a family problem and contribute to making it better  god bless you and your mom  tell her nicely that could she not swear so much please

Answer 2

Try having a sit down with your mom, and calmly discussing how you feel about her behavior. Maybe she's bi polar, or under stress, or a number of other things. Just make sure you let her know how much it hurts you when she talks to you the way she does.  

Answer 3

shes probably just hitting menopause... tehbad news however, is that this lasts a fairly long time.. my advice is to just ignore it, dont let her insults get to you, and just try not to get noticed by her.. also doing things for her aournd the hosue, such as moping the floors, cleaning the dishes, vacuuming, cleaning the bathroom, etc, for FREE (no allowance or charge for this) jsut to help out, but dont rub it in her face.. do it without elling her.. might make her alittle happier, but for the most part, just try to ignore it, and DO NOT scream back at her (it will only make things worse)

Answer 4

How old are you  - and where is your father?

Because it sounds like your mother is having some issues, which she cannot handle very well, and might need help.

Alternatively, you could try and get help in learning to deal with it, and diplomatically 'guiding'  your mother so she will not bother you too much.

If you are old enough, you might want to consider finding a place of your own.

Answer 5

i think you should sit down with her one night and  make an agreement with her to calm down and talk to me like a young adult

Answer 6

Answer 7

alright look,,,your young so i get that small things bother you. but as you get older your going to understand how stressful being an adult can be..it sounds like your mom just wanted to spend time with you.you should be greatful of that because there are alot of other kids in the world who would love it if their parents wanted to do fun stuff with them.. and as far as the swearing,, yeah that's not very nice,,but reality is that she is an adult,,and can pretty much speak as she wants..just try to be respectful and tell her that it bothers you and see if maybe she can not do it as much....

Answer 8

my moms the same way, and she thinks that i treat her bad but i guess she doesnt realize tht shes doing the same thing. jus dont argue with her, it jus makes it worse. shes prly upset about something thts been making her upset for sometime now & she'll realize one day tht your the best thing in her life. so dont worry my moms the same way ! hope things get better

Answer 9

I am very sorry you are going through that. Maybe your mother is going through some difficult times. It sounds kinda like she has allot on her mind and that's why she gets confused.

I suggest you try sitting down with her and nicely explain how you feel.

In the meanwhile, maybe try to stay busy and out of her way.

I am not implying you are in her way, just keep your distance.

Maybe she needs time to work out some things in her life.

It is good that you are sensitive to these things, it makes me believe you do not want to repeat her poor choices of behavior.

Good for you!

good luck and hugs
